Hi everyone. Good to finally be a part of this forum. Some background info. I'm 36 and I've been clean for about 5 years now from heroin and suboxone. Now, I have a health problem but because of my addiction being part of my medical record, doctors refuse to treat me like a person. I do well and work on myself daily. In the past I would be upfront and even when I had a staff infection on my head and was in excruciating pain I told doctors NO OPIATES! Now, I just can't stand living in pain. It's making it very hard for me to function at work and I work around massive amounts of electricity. Not having my wits about me can end up badly and it's hard to concentrate when in pain. So, this too shall pass but I feel the need to be proactive and have options on the table. Thanks for listening and blessings be
